Gameplay

The player must pay 5 Gems before they can play a round of the game. First, the player must use their keyboard's arrow keys or click the yellow arrow buttons on the machine to move the claw left and right. Once the player finds a suitable location for the claw, they can drop it by pressing their keyboard's down arrow key or by clicking the large, red button on the machine. The claw then drops and closes; if the player has won a gift, they will hear a squeak and a gift box will appear hanging from the claw. The gift box is yellow with pink stripes (like any gift box) but it has question marks all over it also. Finally, if the player won, the prize will be revealed and the player has an option to "Keep" or "Discard" it.

Rewards

Original Version

Plushie Version

Sometime around February 2011, the den item rewards were replaced with plushies. Additional plushie types were added to the possible rewards as they were introduced. The plushies that are currently awarded are as follows:

Trading Party Version

When the Trading Party was introduced in January 2012, it included a version of the claw machine that only rewards some clothing items. This seems to be the same version that was included in the trading-themed Jammer Party, which has an unmarked claw machine that can be clicked to play the game. The rewards in both cases seem to consist of the following items:

Diamond Shop Version

The Diamond Shop had sold non-member claw machines until they were replaced by member claw machines with a new design, starting with The Arctic Wolf Claw. These are claws that only reward plushies of a specific animal. These claws currently include:

Trivia

There is a glitch where the Trading Party version, despite costing 25 Gems to play, will display the message "You Must Have 5 Gems to Play" if the player has less than 25 Gems.

The plushie version of the claw provides an estimated 27% chance of getting a common plushie, 4% chance of getting a special plushie that includes an accessory, and 69% chance of not getting anything.

In an update on November 19, 2015, a glitch occurred where all claw machines appeared to only contain white Elephant Plushies. However, each claw machine still rewarded the correct set of plushies and no white Elephant Plushies could actually be won. This glitch was later fixed.

The regular plushie version of this game will often display unreleased plushies inside the machine even though they cannot actually be won from the machine.
